An Open Letter to Rubicon

Posted by Philip on June 10th, 2009 — 8:41pm

Dear Rubicon,

As evidently you are not aware, modestmango.com has been alive for nearly two years and has in that time become established as the number one location for Belfast cafe reviews, NFL punditry, recipes, political debate and of course mango culture. It is with this in mind that I find it incredibly insulting that you made no attempt at involving us in “National Mango Week 2009“.

I can guarantee you that no one currently reading this will have heard of “National Mango Week 2009″. Yes, I am saying that no one currently reading a weblog called Modest MANGO will have heard of “National Mango Week 2009″. Why? Because your PR department is really, really shit. Just look at your pathetic attempt at going viral…

From your website I quote: “Mango madness! Some people adore Mango Juice so much that they go to extreme lengths to show their love.”

Click.

A fat, ugly, Scottish man getting a tattoo.

Ho.

Lee.

Shit.

Don’t get me wrong, Rubicon. We here at Modest Mango are nothing if not keen to raise mango awareness, and your enthusiasm has been noted. But when you try something like “National Mango Week 2009″, fail to involve us, and then proceed to completely fuck it up, I get angry.

Kind regards,

Philip Chan

    [...] too pleased about Rubicon budging in and claiming the mangoes! We found a slightly humorous open letter to Rubicon that claims modestmango.com invented Mango [...]
